This week, we have kick started our new inquiry, with most children across the year group showing that they are fascinated by our new learning: WWII! Our central idea and lines of inquiry link to the impact the beliefs of individuals can have on their communities, the impact of gender roles and stereotypes on the experiences of groups of people and how opinions can be shared and spread. Many children have been talking about the experiences of their great-grandparents in relation to historical conflicts and WWII. If any children choose to interview living relatives about their experiences (or the experiences of their ancestors), the notes from these conversations would be warmly welcomed in lesson time. 

In maths, we have continued to investigate angles and measure. We've revised that a right angle = 90 degrees, angles on a straight line = 180 degrees and angles around a point = 360, and we are applying these facts to help solve calculations and word problems. We have then moved on to revise fractions, percentages and decimals, with excellent recall of previously learned mathmatical concepts! Similarly we have been learning how to solve challenging long division calculations too. We are flying through the curriculum and doing a superb job with it too!
